Where does a politician, or a political party, draw the line in the willingness to sacrifice principles for a few bucks? When we talk about the need to "change" the political environment and the culture of money and politics, isn’t there some place where you can say, "right here, this is the perfect example […]

Posted on 13 July 2007.
   This kind of slipped under the radar screen–but it’s a small sign that makes me skeptical that the Employee Free Choice Act will ever pass.
